Week 8

a wee giggle for the weekend. Share it with others to brighten their day.


Kia ora whānau,

Wow! It's week 8 already, where has the term gone? A lot of you must be busy with weekend winter sport and just staying warm. The shortest day is close, which means the daffodils will be working their magic so keep your head up.


What's on next week:

Wednesday: Matariki Breakfast. Come along and share some kai with others in our school community and strengthen our whānaungatanga (relationships).

Friday: Assembly at the old time of 9:10

Reminders:
Learning conferences weeks 9 & 10. Book your conference with us if you haven't done so already.

Re: Chill TTT recipe activity. More information will come out about this towards the end of the term. Please check with us before bringing ingredients to school as the children need to have a plan and know how to make the item before hand.

Dear Parents

We are planning a trip to Silverstream Reserve on Tuesday 2 July from 10am – 12.30pm. We will travel to and from the Reserve by bus and there is no cost for families.

Children are encouraged to come to school in warm mufti clothes with gumboots or strong shoes. Bringing a uniform to change into afterwards would be ideal.

We would love some parents to accompany us on this trip. Please let your team teachers know if you are available to help out.

NZ Playhouse Show coming to Clarkville

For the last two years we have had NZ Playhouse visit the school to perform for us in the MPF. Their performances are of a high quality and have had us all laughing in our seats.

We are pleased to welcome back New Zealand Playhouse for their show The Tortoise and the Hare.

After beating the Gingerbread Man in the finals of ‘Who’s the Fastest Of Them All?’ everyone knows The Hare is the undisputed ‘Master of Faster’ and if they don’t they soon will thanks to the Hare’s boasting and gloating about their momentous momentum. In fact, the only creature the harebrained Hare hasn’t beaten in a race is the Tortoise, but why bother when everyone knows it would be a walk-over and a run-over. Or maybe not.

New Zealand Playhouse will be coming to us on Wednesday 12 June at 1.50pm. The cost is $5 per student and this amount will be added to your account.

Any parents who would like to join in the fun would be very welcome. The show will finish just before the end of the school day. There is no cost for parents but we would appreciate you arriving before 1.50pm to avoid interrupting the show.

Thank you for your support.
